You might need to read it again... "Both dogs were wearing colored harnesses and collars"

Yea, but what color was it? Was it bright orange or was it gray or dark green? A lot of info left out

That's a good point. Coyotes tend to wear darker more nature color collars and harnesses, while most dogs usually wear brighter ones. Easy mistake, especially since the guy was supposed to be hunting deer. (Maybe we shouldn't just shoot at the shit we can't clearly see or aren't there to hunt in the first place...)

He made a shitty gut shot on a dog he thought was a coyote. Sounds to me like he was quick to pull the trigger and excited for a Facebook post.

the article states the dogs were wearing more than just a collar. even so, hunters are taught from day one not to take a shot unless you can see your target fully and clearly. don't you remember the turkey hunting story from your hunter safety certification course?
